"How ridiculous! A mere undercover agent dares to cry foul!"
"Don't waste your breath on her, kill her and go back to report!"
The two men in black simply ripped off their cumbersome masks.
Su Jin vaguely remembered what these two people looked like; she had seen them in the interrogation room before.
"Are you disciples of Phoenix Pavilion, or disciples of Yang Jiaoruo?"
The man in black said righteously, "Whether it's us, Yang Jiaoruo, Phoenix Pavilion, or our lord, we are all one. You are the villain who has disturbed our peace."
Su Jin was speechless and unable to refute.
The two men in black no longer needed to hide anything; the Phoenix Pavilion's swordsmanship attacked fiercely, each move deadly.
The crimson color in Su Jin's lower eyes gradually spread, and the power of the Gu Mother was fully released. Her speed was extremely fast, and her power was unprecedented.
Each of her sword strikes possessed the power to cut through thorns and cleave through the clouds, directly shocking the black-clad man to the core of his being.
The two men in black were no match for Su Jin.
While they were still in shock at why Su Jinxia's power was several times stronger than that of the Liuli Society disciples they had encountered before, they had already been cut down by Su Jinxia's sword.
A single sword strike to the throat, without any pain.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black with the severed hand quietly fled.
The blood at the tip of the sword was glaring and foul-smelling, and Su Jin was somewhat stunned.
Seeing the man in black flee out of the corner of her eye, Su Jin subconsciously raised her sword and threw it.
The man in black noticed something, slightly turned his body, and the sword slid along his leg and plunged into the ground.
The man in black scrambled to his feet in a panic and continued to flee, his figure vanishing from the spot in an instant.
Is there a formation?
Su Jin hurriedly chased after them, but they were already out of sight. She glanced back at the two corpses, but there was no time to care about them anymore.
If the man in black with the severed hand escapes, everything Su Jin has done will have been in vain.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jin stepped into the formation.
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed, and everywhere I looked were ancient trees with intertwined roots. The ground was no longer covered with withered leaves, but with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
This area is very similar to Liuli Mountain, which Su Jinxia is very familiar with. Such scenery is usually only found in the heart of mountains.
However, this formation is somewhat unique; it can change locations, making it difficult to find the way back.
There were specks of blood on the ground, and Su Jin followed the bloodstains.
As they searched, the trail of blood suddenly stopped.
There's nowhere to hide here, could there be some kind of formation?
Su Jin closed her eyes and listened intently, but found no obvious footsteps.
Perhaps the man in black knew that Su Jinxia was a member of the Liuli Society and had good hearing, so he deliberately kept his voice down. Or perhaps he had gone far away because of the changes in the formation.
Su Jin's chest heaved twice as she suppressed her unease and continued walking inside, listening intently.
As they walked, the scene before them changed again, and bloodstains reappeared on the ground, but the blood stopped after a few steps.
This is an extremely complex formation!
Meanwhile, outside the formation, Shen Wenmao was happily sipping his tea and said to Yang Jiaoruo, "The situation has gradually stabilized. Fortunately, you reminded us and we didn't stop the match. Otherwise, Shen Qianxue would definitely blame this old man when she came back. It's also my cleverness that I lit the insect-attracting incense in the poisonous insect area early on, and the poisonous insects will slowly fly back."
Yang Jiaoruo's expression was indifferent, and she gave a perfunctory smile.
All she cares about now is whether Su Jinxia is dead or not.
Once Su Jinxia dies, everything can go back to the way it was before.
A disciple in black suddenly appeared not far away. Yang Jiaoruo recognized him as the person sent to kill Su Jinxia in the forest.
Yang Jiaoruo always knew that Su Jin was lucky, so she made multiple preparations.
Her greatest wish was for Su Jin to die at the hands of poison.
If not, it's fine for them to die at the hands of her people; just keep these subordinates quiet.
Yang Jiaoruo made an excuse to take her leave of Shen Wenmao, then went into the shadows and asked calmly, "How did you die?"
Yang Jiaoruo was very confident that Su Jinxia would not die under such circumstances; that would be truly strange.
The black-clad disciple had dark, brooding eyes and tightly pressed lips. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Lin Zida, we split into two teams to search, but we didn't find Su Jinxia. Instead, we found the bodies of the other team. Two out of three people are dead."
Yang Jiaoruo stared in astonishment, her eyes widening. "Say that again!"
"Qinghua, Fengchang, and Yuanqi were in a team. Two of them died from a single sword wound to the throat. Yuanqi is missing."
Yang Jiaoruo's legs went weak and she leaned against the wall.
These three were all top-tier fighters in their respective teams. How could they have failed? How could they have lost their lives?
That's impossible!
Where is the body?
“We’ve already brought it back, and nobody knows.”
"Go find Yuan Qi immediately and bring him back alive." Yang Jiaoruo suppressed her panic and gave the order.
Regardless of whether Su Jinxia lives or dies, Shen Qianxue must never find out about this.
"yes!"
The man in black accepted the order, but the deep sorrow in his eyes was undeniable; his friend had died.
They were just ordinary disciples, acting under orders, and dared not say much. But was it worth it to go to such lengths for Su Jin, injuring so many disciples and killing Qinghua and Fengchang?
Yang Jiaoruo and the secret guards were not the only ones searching for Su Jin.
Zhang Qing, Li Moke, and his teammates were also searching for her. During this time, Li Moke's teammate was poisoned, and the secret guards came to his rescue. Fu Gang happened to be among them.
Fu Gang had always assumed that since Liu Da was eliminated, Su Jinxia would definitely be with Zhang Qing. However, he only saw Zhang Qing and not Su Jinxia.
Zhang Qing was also anxious and ashamed, "It's all my fault, I accidentally lost her."
Fu Gang immediately said, "I'll go find it!"
The guard stopped Fu Gang, saying, "Be mindful of your current status. If Su Jinxia is in danger, she will naturally draw the signal arrow. You cannot participate in the competition."
Fu Gang's face was ashen. Although the signal arrow was a safeguard, it was not foolproof.
Zhang Qing hurriedly said, "I'll go find her, I will definitely find her, don't worry."
Fu Gang couldn't break the rules, and he knew the secret guards wouldn't allow him to break them, so he solemnly entrusted this important task to Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing didn't dare to delay for a moment and continued searching.
While everyone was searching for Su Jinxia, Su Jinxia was still wandering around inside the formation.
Su Jin was completely helpless against this formation and could only run around aimlessly like a headless fly.
Fortunately, Su Jin had a Gu Mother on her body, so the dangers hidden in the forest dared not provoke her easily, otherwise she would not have lived long.
But whether the man in black will survive is another matter.
"Help! Help me!"
Suddenly, faint cries for help rang out.
Su Jin followed the sound and walked through the dense forest. Suddenly, a cliff appeared before her.
Below the cliff, a swaying, man-eating flower peeked out. Its branches were three meters long and its flowers were as big as a person. It was struggling to devour Yuan Qi.
"Help me!" Yuan Qi cried weakly, his face ashen, as he writhed in pain.
